“What if, when I write this body, I am making something real, that is taken up by other bodies that read this body, written?”

Ever wondered what an autobiography of the body would look like? Join Quinn Eades (formerly writing and performing as Karina Quinn) to launch all the beginnings: a queer autobiography of the body, at the Hare Hole. Unflinching in the examination of a life marked by trauma and joy, all the beginnings is ultimately a book about falling in love: with writing, children, mothers and with the self.

Quinn Eades is a researcher, writer and award-winning poet whose work lies at the nexus of feminist and queer theories of the body, autobiography and philosophy. Eades is published national and internationally and is currently working on a psychogeographical history of a body of water near his home in Melbourne. Launched by Francesca Rendle-Short, followed by performances and readings by Margaret Mayhem (MC) and musos Essie Thomas, Thomas O’Quinn James and Lily Sawenko.
